Spirit of Speyside 2018

by Bruce FarquharMay 07, 2018

In early May Dramfool attended the Spirit of Speyside whisky festival for the second year running, this time teaming up with Spirit Still, to host whisky tastings on the Thursday and Friday evenings at The Craigellachie Hall.

The first tasting saw the launch of Dramfool's inaugural festival release, a 22 year old, ex-sherry butt, from The Speyside Distillery.

On the Saturday, Dramfool had a stand at The Dufftown Whisky Fair where drams from the festival bottling and previous Dramfool releases were available for visitors to sample. It also gave the Speyside public and festival goers the opportunity for a sneak preview of Dramfool's two Islay Whisky Festival 2018 releases and place pre-orders.

The festival weekend was a fantastic experience and the Festival Speyside and other Dramool releases sampled were well received by the guests at the tasings and fair, along with some workers from nearby Craigellachie Distillery.
